One Year

Its hard to believe that is has been one year since a phone call changed my life forever. I miss Chris and think of him everyday and I would give anything just to have one more day with him. Yesterday was a very hard day for me but 2 things made the day more bearable. #1-Ashley came over after work because he knew it was a hard day for me and he just held me. Then he took me to dinner at Red Lobster because he knew that would cheer me up and it worked. I was smiling by the end of the day. It meant so much that he did that for me. #2-I had a dream on Thursday night and Chris was in it. He told me that he was happy and he was ok. Now I feel I can continue to heal because I know he is happy and in a better place. I know eventually the pain will subside but I also know that my heart will never fully heal. But I know I will see him one day again. Chris always lived his life to the fullest. He wouldn't want me crying everyday over him, he wants me to smile and live my life and to honor his memory, I will do just that.

I miss you Chris. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and all the memories we shared. I could not of asked for a better friend during my time in Oswego. You were always there when I needed you and I knew I could count on you. Everything happens for a reason. I am so happy I ran into you on campus that day-we were inseparable from that day on. I will carry those memories with me for always. You were my best friend and my life is so different without you in it. But your short time on Earth touched my life along with many others so deeply and I will forever be blessed to have been your friend. Love and miss you buddy, May you rest eternally in the arms of our Lord.
